STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - The Amazing Kids Connection received a $10,000 grant from the Northfield Savings Foundation earlier this month at a free distribution of school supplies.

The money was presented by Susan Lamberti, chairwoman, and Diane Senerchia, executive director, at Levy Park house, at the corner of Castleton and Jewett avenues in Port Richmond.

Amazing Kids is an effort organized by the Amazing Grace Interfaith Ministry, which hosts community giveaways monthly. The donated money will be used to buy items for the sessions, the next of which will focus on formula, baby food and diapers. It is scheduled for Nov. 2.

The group will also host a Christmas party — with new toys, pajamas and other clothing for children ages infants to 16 — on Dec. 14.

Hundreds of children, mainly from immigrant families, benefit from each 8 a.m. distribution sponsored by the ministry co-founded by the Reverends Robert and Mary Hansen.

The group also accepts donations from the community, at least one week prior to distribution dates, so items can be organized.

Amazing Grace meets at St. Simon's Episcopal Church in Concord.

For information, call the Rev. Mary Hansen, co-pastor, at 718-356-6441 or the Rev. Dr. Jerylyn Jacob at 718-987-0735.
